Advantages and Disadvantages of Jaw Couplings in Industrial Applications

Jaw couplings

Advantages and Disadvantages of Jaw Couplings in Industrial Applications Introduction In the realm of industrial applications, jaw couplings have gained popularity for their ability to transmit torque while compensating for misalignment. These mechanical devices consist of two hubs connected by an elastomer element, which provides flexibility and dampens vibrations. In this article, we will explore […]

No 1 reason for Coupling failures – bearing contaminants, time for something new?

Coupling Bearing U joint failure

Coupling bearing contaminants – Water, mud, dirt and dust contaminants are one of the many ways that bring uni joints to a halt. Rubber boots, constant greasing and inspections are the usual way used to keep the coupling bearing inside couplings working. That’s part of the ROI but what about the annual cost that adds […]

Coupling solutions replace Lovejoy Universal Joints, Jaw couplings and other couplings. With the 24/7 demands on industrial couplings especially now with the COVID 19 virus meaning less service people and OEM MRO supplies are available, the service manager of these industrial companies have decisions to make. How do I get the most out of the […]

Couplings – How old power transmission couplings cant last in the era of Industry 4.0 and Amazon

Universal joints replacement

Power transmission couplings – Universal Joints, jaw type couplings, beam couplings, bellows couplings and elastomeric couplings all suffer from the same design flaws. We have always used them, they are the only things we use, we just accept the annual maintenance cost and failure rate. A common story from manufacturers and distributors, the power transmission […]
